[DeafMetal]

I'm sorry, but anyone who says GTA V doesn't have fun things to do and claims to be a veteran of the series who just now thinks there's nothing to do is full of sh*t. V has more stuff to do than IV, VC, and III. If you claim to love those based on how much there was to do in them but say V has nothing to do, you are full of sh*t.

Exactly. I have been playing since III and this game is more packed than any other GTA except for SA. People just won't be happy until they just take SA exactly how it is and put it in HD.

 

You might not get stats with collectibles but there are two unique vehicles related to two of them and you also have new missions unlocked. The only one that was sort of a waste was the nuclear waste.

Officer Ronson already mentioned all the things we could do, if I remember correctly and it seems like OP is just ignorant.

GTA V is my first GTA game I've ever played. I'm disappointed. VERY disappointed.

Most of the content has been cut for Online. Mkay, some vehicles available for purchase in online only is understandable as GTA Online has a different spawning engine to make the nicer cars harder to find on the street, otherwise everybody would be driving a Croquette within the first few minutes of gameplay.

What I'm troubled with are the things cut for no reason that would enhance my singleplayer experience.

Watches are cut, opening large vehicle cargo doors are cut, convenience stores despite being fully functioning in single player have cut icons, bigger garages, more aware police, the list goes on and on.

I discover something I would love to do in my singleplayer game with a quick google search, only to realize it was online. 99% of the time this is the case.

Sixty bucks for a demo of a MMO with a terrible community blowing you up constantly.

[ezfaun]

To me, personally, it's not about about what we can do. What is doable is scripted and what jimmy would call linear. It's more about where you can go that counts. And to add some personality would be the customizations. Ranging from clothes cars and homes(real ones).

 

So far, it has taken a lot of my imagination to enjoy the game. There aren't a lot of places and most of the players are concentrated within the city, leaving the map to feel a bit small. Maybe that's why people were complaining. Because they deem that the playable area is naught but a smidget of the entire map.

 

In all honesty, thinking of having two or three in-game cities on the same map makes my mind run wild. Like the possibility of flying planes between two international airports. Hijacking a special train akin to the special crate. Having that feeling like there is more to the game than just the city of Los Santos.

You burnt yourself out of GTA. Too much of a good thing is bad. You're just growing tired of GTA.

 

If they change it, it won't be GTA anymore and people will be upset about that.

[Official General]

The reason I titled this thread for vets specifically is becuase it seems people that didn't play the orginals seem to think it's really revoulutionary and amazing that you can drive around a fictional city shooting at the cops and flying jet planes, they think that's really "funz" and "awesomez", but for someone who has been paying GTA from the very begining even though I'm only 21, this game bores me to death, It's so bad I hadn't played it for a month until today and now it bores me even more, I've tried time and time again to enjoy it but I just can't, there's literally nothing fun to do, I feel like R* wasted 4 years making this game, it seems as though graphics aside they haven't made any real progress since SA it just keeps on regressing and it's a shame because GTA used to be my favorite gaming franchise but now it just seems like its all about yoga, darts, driving cabs and taking pictures of celebrities etc.. so basically what I wanna know is am I the only GTA vet on here that feels this way?

 

No you are not the only one.

 

You are one of many including myself.

Am i the Only one who realised Chinatown Wars didnt have Multiplayer and it was universally acclaimed maybe that would be a great lesson for future GTAs.I love GTA 5 to bits but i think GTAO was a mess.

 

How balls deep in Candy Suxxx awesome was that drug dealing mini-game?I still play that game every now and then just because of it.It boggles my mind why they would drop such a replayable and awesome game mechanic.

[Algonquin Assassin]

The Chinatown Wars drug dealing mechanic was something I was hoping to see adapted to fit into GTA V.

[golf wang]

Personally speaking, I have a lot of fun with this game. I love just driving and messing around, I'm not too hard impress when it comes to video games, it just needs to be fun (for me). Another bonus for me is that the game takes place in LA, where I live . I can understand why some people don't like it. For many, it failed to live up to their expectations, which is unfortunate. For me though, the game is almost perfect.

[Drunken Cowboy]

The mistake R* made was that being "lifelike, immersive, and HUGE" is a replacement for the good stuff.

Sure, you can move on from darts, to tennis, to boat races, to car races, to plane races, to taking pictures of celebrities of whatever the f*ck.

But at the core, the players want their action. Just because there's all these options in V doesn't mean quantity beats quality. And this is a criticism of near every GTA game.

The things I loved about TLaD and TBoGT were two simple things: Gang and Drug Wars.

It's just an NPC ambush, but that's what GTA's about! Some good ol' fashioned shooting and car chases!

There's NO f*cking way to get into a good gunfight after V's terribly short story ends. You have the 'roided-up cops who will knock you on your ass before you clear your holster, but that's about it

I like the gang territories in GTA:O. They should have imported that into SP, maybe with some, I don't know, cash for Michael if he completes it, SA-style gang territory acquisition for Franklin, some drugs or human stew for Trevor, some practical reward.

 

How hard could something like that have been to implement?

Even if I wasn't put off and disappointed by GTA V SP's shortcomings, I can't think of what I would be doing in it now. My cash is useless. I have no vehicles or guns that I don't have that I'd want to buy. Property is useless. Your array of friends are as dry as their dialogue during actives. The only things that come close are the random encounters, sometimes. Even Strangers and Freaks (f*cking car towing, paparazzi-ing, smashing real-estate signs, Michael not f*cking having any) fall terribly short in providing the "fun" stuff.

I'm sorry but this is just wrong even though I know that you've got an opinion but still.

 

You said that you would like gang wars. Gang wars wouldn't fit into ANY of the charcters stories'. Franklin got outta the 'hood and doesn't want to come back. Mike is a retired bank robber. How would he have gang wars? Trevor already has drug trafficking and still, why would he want to have some gang wars? He just wants to rob banks 'n sh*t.

 

If they DO implement gang wars then there would be more of a "Identity crisis" as you call it.

 

Also about the stuff you listed that are "Fun" in IV, these are not actually in IV. These are in TBoGT and TLaD. Correct me if I'm wrong, but even the original IV didn't have gang wars or drug wars. So, can you please list some activities in the original IV that are "Fun"?

 

As for spending money in V,

 

Really? You have nothing to spend your money on in V? What about car customizations, gun customizations, buying cars, businesses, buying planes, boats and bikes.

 

Can you list some stuff in IV where you can spend your money on? As far as I can remember, you could only spend your money on guns. That's it.

Gang Wars, a feature that I strongly dislike in the series, because in my opinion it was never executed right neither in SA or TLaD and I hated that SA forced you to defend the territories every two f*cking minutes after you ended the game (that was a real game breaker for me) while in TLaD you never had that real reason (except with A.o.D.) to start wars with all the mayor gangs of Liberty City. Since there was not any kind of special reward, nothing that would help your bussines or Club (only could make it worse for it at the time), your street and gang rep and Johnny showed a peacefire side when it comes to this things. He would rather pursuit bussines opportunities than beefs with other gangs. I think that Gang Wars if needed should be implemented into Trevor's crime activities with the help of Lamar as a piss parody of gang lifestyle in LS or maybe as a new bussines venture where Trevor needs to perform drive-bys on various gangs and hoods, ambush gang drug deals, kill other gang dealers and competition in order to spread the new drug (meth) on the streets of LS or some sort in upcoming DLC, maybe? In one of their conversations Trevor mentioned that he is glad to have a friend (Lamar) who is a gangbanger (you could also see in both Hood Safari and Lamar Down that he is into gang action. Yelling Chamberlain Gangster Families for life and other OG sh*t. Also after the ending of V, Lamar is still nowhere as he is in the beginning. He is still in the hood, promoting OG life, chasing 'paper' but not seeing one so maybe Trevor could help him out and assist him as an mentor (he always talks about real mentorship, loyalty and role modeling with Franklin) to rise and shine as an gangbanger, to establish his own set maybe and have some drugs or arms related bussines to it or some sort that Trevor would menage weekly. In other hand I would like to see General being forced to play as Trevor in order to do his favorite thing. But there is not much point to that, since the gangs are in peace with eachothers and pursuing their own things and ventures a.k.a. the gang life.

 

@OT: People who says that there is nothing fun to do in this game in my opinion have a little to no imagination, don't like the genre (or outgrow it) or they are not good and can't handle this game in the right way and I really pity them for that. You don't know what are you missing.

it's sad that the most fun things to do in GTA V has nothing to do with crime unless you go on a rampage and to me that's gotten old, once you play around with five minute invincibility you'll kind of wished they never had it because the wanted system already sucked without it, hate how they got rid of the fib and it's just cops and noose teams I wanted the merryweather or us army to come after with tanks like in previous gta games.

it doesn't take me long to find something really fun to do in GTAIV, vigilante, gang wars and drug wars are my favorite activities.

Why does this matter? When I first got the game I spent like 4 hours (over the course of a day or two) just playing tennis. How is that a bad thing? I was having fun, I didn't care how.

I dont like Gangwars either,but GTA is the only openworld franchise that does it best,with two gang themed games (SA and TLAD),yeah there are flaws in SA and TLAD gang/turf wars but these two games influenced the Gangster Openworld games,the first two Saints Row were SA Rip-off and Ride to Retribution was just a copy cat of TLAD and at the end it was the Worst Game of All Time,TLAD was just an Expansion but it was great.

@ mr. libs

The Original GTA 4 didnt have gang wars or drugs wars,Gangwars was exclusive to TLAD because it main focus was on Gangs (just like SA)but outlaw biker gangs,Drug wars was exclusive to TBoGT.but yeah GTA 4 had Vigilante(the only thing i agree with you on).

Another thing that puzzles me about TLaD's gang wars is that The Lost attack gangs other than the AoD. What's up with that?

You can do rampages over and over if you want.

 

You can do trevor's gun smuggling missions

 

You can rob stores

 

You can rob armored cars

 

You can also go back and replay any mission you want

 

Tons of fun to be had.
